As a teacher I always loved snow days because it was a chance to regroup, get organized and stay home. Well as a mom, I love snow days for the same reasons and more! Even though it can be cold and dreary it's also so beautiful and peaceful. We might not be able to enjoy sunshine and flowers, but we can enjoy cultivating communication with our children on these special days.
Your children will probably want to play in the snow, drink hot chocolate and watch a movie which is a perfect way to spend the day :) However, in addition try to spend some time in an activity that will encourage communication. Whether it's making cookies together, reading them a book or playing a game... don't forget to just be with them and spend time talking. We can get lost in the business of it all and forget to dialogue. Growing in communication as they grow up is an important skill to nourish and cultivate. They will remember and cherish snow days even more!
Peace and blessings,
Lesa
